VivaVaquita.org was conceived on 9 September 2009 by concerned researchers and educators from four nonprofit organizations, Cetos Research Organization, Save The Whales, American Cetacean Society, Monterey Bay Chapter and the Intercultural Center for the Study of Deserts and Oceans (CEDO). In order to save this Critically Endangered species we realize we must work together and hope more ogranizations will join us in our campaign to Save The Vaquita.

Our goals and mission are to generate awareness of the vaquita and to promote a healthy Upper Gulf of California ecosystem. Ultimately, we aim to help save the vaquita from extinction, and to do so in a way that also provides long-term benefits to the fisherman and other residents of Baja California, Mexico.

Join us in our efforts to Save The Vaquita!
